    Lowry, James Jr.
    Birth 1738 Ballynagorry, Ireland
    Father's Name: James Lowry, Sr.

    Several genealogies report the birth year as 1733 instead of 1738.They also report him as James Lowry or James Lowery, Jr fromBallynagorry, Ireland.  But they usually also report his father asEdmond Lowery.  If he is James Jr, his father is not EdmondLowery/Lowry.

    These details may refer to two different James Lowrys, whoseinformation has been merged by the commonly uncareful genealogies wefind.  I have shown James Lowery as born in 1738, following theFayette County, Pennsylvania record that so many attach to hisprofile, with his father also named James Lowry/Lowery, to match hisdesignation as Junior.  Further information may enable me to confirmthe parental connection or separate two people named James Lowery.

    The likelihood that there are two different family lines combined hereseems supported by the presence of a tax record for a James Lowery Srnear James Lowery Jr in Franklin County, Georgie in 1807.  Thisindicates James Sr and James Jr as father and son in Franklin County.The James whose father was Edmond may be in another county of Georgia(he died in Jasper County), and the record of birth in Fayette County,Pennsylvania, may not be for the James Lowry who married Polly AnnWilkie.
